So, we installed AL, just to try it out while we're waiting for our new computer (WHICH IS TAKING FOREVER). Since AL adds a bunch of townies and crap, we have some fixing to do before we're able to play our neighbourhood again - so we're waiting to do that until we have our new computer. In the meantime, I've started making my own clothing mod/mover/hider for all EPs and SPs. We've used Phaenoh's for a while, but not everything there was quite to our liking, so I went all OCD over it and am doing it myself. Man, there's a lot of mess in the clothing and hair catalog. Hair binned wrong, outfits that REALLY should be hidden... and outfits that shouldn't be hidden! Also, weird random buggy custom star'ed stuff that's been hidden by EAxis. There's this pink toddler pyjamas with a heart on it that's all fucked up in the chest area. I wish they'd stop leaving their garbage behind like that. Well... on the other hand, then awesome people wouldn't be able to dig it out and fix it.
ANYWAY.
Here's a megahood update and stuff.
Luis Aspir being all sweet and grandfatherly to Pauline, aww.
Oh yeah. Elizabeth is pregnant. So she spends time reading and such.
Elizabeth: Hah! I knew he would go for Ginny, not Hermione... Silly fangirls.
Luis is putting the finishing touches on his restored car. Just a little more paint, and...
Voila! Shiny yellow car, good as new, and cheap!
Luis and Victor having some father-son time.
Victor: Pauline, do you want to come see the toy trains?
Pauline: No, boring! *remote-control-fiddles*
Luis: They're models, not toys...
Speaking of toys...
That toy oven is a terrible fire hazard, isn't it?
Luis uploads pictures of his restored car and toy model trains to Photobucket so he can post them on his Tinkering livejournal.
The activity table: still awesome.
I've no idea what time of the day this was. Elizabeth and Pauline are in their underwear and PJs, Victor appearently just came home from work, Luis is in everyday, it's dark outside and they're eating (leftover?) spaghetti. And then Elizabeth gives birth by the dinner breakfast table.
It's a boy! Meet Vincent Aspir. With brown hair. Yay recessive genes that I added! (I mean, Pauline's brown hair had to come from somewhere!)
I guess this room won't do for a boy...
MOAR STEREOTYPES!
We should just do every baby room yellow for moar reuseability.
Next up is...
...everyone's favourite grilled cheese artist, Natasha Una. This is what she's doing most of the day: zone glowing and eating grilled cheese sandwiches she conjured out of thin air.
And sewing and painting and pottery..ing. She has a Bronze sewing badge now, zOMG! Means she can make bears and ugly curtains.
We can't forget her boyfriend, though: Henry Houston!
Luis: OH HAI 'TASHA, DON'T MIND ME STANDING HERE CREEPILY STARING AT YOU BOTH WHILE YOU HAVE A DATE.
Natasha: For fuck's sake, Luis, GO HOME.
Henry: If you just ignore him, won't he go away?
Natasha: NO.
Luis did finally go away, though, leaving Natasha and Henry to develop their romance...
...taking things to the next level.
Natasha: My cousin's not staring in through the window, right?
Henry: *checks* Um... no.
Natasha: Oh good, let's get on with it before he comes back.
Henry: ...*worries*
Natasha's first TEDDY BEAR!
Just in time for Natasha's first BABY!
Henry: Oh, so that glowing wasn't just from zoning, eh?
Natasha: Very funny.
Henry: Well, I guess there's only one thing to do...
Henry: Marry me?
Natasha: :DDD
Random: Then their tree caught fire. It looked impressive. Yay lightning storms!
